The minics disguised as a crying child asking me for help looking for her mom, unaware i have 93 pounds of Carbon 4 explosives in the truck of my 1998 Nissan Maxima with the detonator hooked up to the passenger door handle:
*standing the with my Remington R5 hollow point aimed at their knees with a hammer on my hip* Don’t you feel stupid? Don’t you feel dumb? A little? Perhaps a bit more then you could be showing?
*standing the with my Remington R5 hollow point aimed at their knees with a hammer on my hip* Don’t you feel stupid? Don’t you feel dumb? A little? Perhaps a bit more then you could be showing?
When it looks at you and try’s to pounce you “falls straight on to face and starts moving like it’s in pain” Me: wow that was quite dumb of you as I’m unholstering my colt .45
The fact that people know these things exist, know how dangerous they are, and yet STILL go out at night, alone, to a place where a mimic attack very clearly happened is both baffling and completely believable. People really are stupid.
you also gotta take the other creatures into account too, a host or a harvester could easily be planted nearby without you being able to see it due to the darkness. you could easily inhale the spores or step on the wrong soil, triggering the harvesters brutal process.
I own a musket for mimic defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Imagine it. Four mimics break into my house. "What the devil?" I say as I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. I blow a golf ball sized hole through the first mimic's head, he's dead on the spot. I draw my pistol on the second mimic, and miss him entirely because it's smoothbore. I nail the neighbors trimming. In my retreat I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" I say as the grape shot shreds two mimics in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Finally, as the last mimic is panicking from all the noise, I fix bayonet and charge it. It bleeds out pinned to the wall as I'm waiting for the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Oh god. Imagine being morbidly obese and sitting on your couch that had a mimic hiding in it. And you only discover it when it starts rotting and stinking up your living room
The idea that mimics learn to hide in furniture, put on clothes, and appear human, not because they are as intelligent as humans, but because they are adapting hunting and camouflage capabilities, in incredibly brilliant. They aren’t just otherworldly horrors, they are animals searching for food.
@@user-jh5dq9vc1v ok but its also more original. Mimics arent really original but at least they arent as smart or smarter than humans for 0 reason whatsoever other than "omg its so intelligent so its special!!!"
You know there's talent in a series when its comments are all compliments and constructive criticism. You know a series is *captivating* when the comments are all compliments, constructive criticism, and people roleplaying and having fun with the setting.
Same. I’m tall and fairly sticklike, I’ve got long fingers, and also I have a connective tissue disorder that messes with my joints, so I tend to walk kind of funky, but also it can cause someone to have larger than normal eyes, which I do. I’d absolutely get mistaken for a mimic.
The meat snake was said to incorporate the corpses it ate into its body. The mimic may do something similar, slowly repurposing and covering its itself with the hair and skin of its victims
I really like how unlike most analog horrors where the advice against the monsters is “ACCEPT YOUR DEATH” or “LAY DOWN AN DIE” in a way to copy Local 58 or some shit like that, you genuinely can beat these creatures, since they’re still actually animals, even if they can easily kill you. It makes it more realistic
When I read the “lay down and die” part I laughed so hard because I could hear that one dude Alex jones screaming “this is your fate LAY DOWN AND DIEEEEah!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Local 58 could do that because whatever was causing all of that was otherworldly, we never actually saw it and what we did see was just some of what it could do. The analog horror series that are just ‘people but exaggerated’ always give some reason for why you can just hit them with buckshot, but series like Greylock, Local58, Gemini Home Entertainment make it clear these things are nothing like people.
To be fair local 58 was more of like a cosmic eldritch horror type thing like Gemini home entertainment, it’s something beyond our comprehension so really all we can do technically is lay down and die, but other series that aren’t based off of that concept I completely agree it makes it less realistic.
What I like about this is that it's not some kind of undefeatable horror. It's just an animal with weaknesses that you can easily exploit, just like bears.
"The critters led the prince out of the cave, up to the top of the hill the prince had laid buried under, and showed them the forest. "This is our home. Full of wonder and beauty. Although, the forest struggles to provide for all us Critter, and we are facing disaster. Can you help us?"
This opens the possibility that the documentary's statement of the Vita Carnis being from Earth is technically correct from a certain point of view. If the Crawl was created by the Prince working together with humans, then the meat creatures excluding the Prince are all "from Earth".
Imagine youre a dumb fucking mimic in 1899 and stumble into the Van der Linde camp to eat some women. You try to, only to realise you accidentaly walked into arthur's tent and what follows is several armed men beating the shit out of you only to eat you tomorrow in pearsons stew.
Honestly, mimics stop attacking you if you eat one of them in front of a mimic. They realize you are an actual threat and tell their friends so they won't cause you anymore problems. Hope this helps

The creepiest/best part of this series is the fact that many of these videos are similar to a "What to do if you see a bear/cougar" type of video. It's not some eldrich horror that cannot be overwhelmed (well, aside from the Monoliths); it's a creature with known behavioral patterns that can be exploited to improve your odds of survival. With the exception of the Harvester (which can just be avoided), all of these threats are survivable with preparation and knowledge. Dying to a Mimic or Host is akin to being mauled by a bear or cougar- it's a rare occurrence that people think won't happen to them and therefore never prepare for.
@@Lucas-Nunes Yes preferably an fully powered or even intermediate cartridge would be most effective, but even then pistol calibers are used and are capable of doing the job.
If anybody remembers, in the original video on the NLVR Document, they say Mimics don't have any weaknesses, but now they say they do. Theory: They are misleading the population on purpose for some reason.
I agree, also in the cooking video you can see the person lean over and they are wearing a respirator which means they know they are dealing with something hazardous. Its either the crawl or the flavor enhancer but the crawl cannot be inhaled so I believe the latter.
They also said not to shoot in the original video as they cannot be killed with guns and the like. Makes me wonder who each recording came from and what their motives were…
@@detectivechu52what if it was a mimic in the suit? They said they don’t eat their own kind, but if it was being prepared for humans to mislead them, it would make sense to cover up their hands and face
@@jazcarluccio4505 currently I'm believing that this all is simply updated information on mimics due to increase in their population, betterment of technology and more video/eye witness recordings
i SUPER dig how mimics actually have a "weakness" that can be exploited! they're not just these scary as hell things that you have no hope of surviving an encounter with. might give those that are doomed a false sense of hope, thinking they'll be able to get away
I love this update to the mimic lore. It makes them less 'unstoppable invincible monsters' and more 'scary but grounded predators'. The ability of potential prey to fight back or get them to leave with a threat display makes them feel more like real animals. But they're still super scary because of how they can stalk, hide, and catch prey off-guard.
Humans are cryptids to animals. We chase them over long distances and when they lie down out of exhaustion we just show up. We stand on Two legs are almost completely bald and we can kill them from hundreds if not thousands of feet away like magic. We move in land ships as well as water ships and airships. We can drop one piece of metal and radiation from the sky and destroy thousands of feet of land around detonation site.
I remember seeing comments on the previous mimic vid complaining about the durability and unfightable nature of the mimics, it looks like you fixed it and made it a bit more realistic which imo, despite being able to immobilize them, the realism makes it scarier.
Seriously if best strategy to evade them was to scream like a little girl and run as fast as you can then they'd already be nearly extinct because that's our first reaction to literally everything. You wouldn't need to publish a guide on it explaining to people that they need to run away from the skinless man trying to eat them.
it is a lot better with some realism, a high powered assault rifle (which in such a scenario a lot of people would start carrying) would literally vaporize one. I think restrictions on gun ownership would quickly disappear in the face of fast human eating monsters
@@toomanysandwiches8665 mimics aren't supernatural beings. They're anomalous lifeforms with flesh and blood. Vita carnis lifeforms have fit into existing ecosystems.
Makes me remember that one time when me and the boys were intentionally camping the house at night to hunt down mimics. One time something knocked on my door and me and the homies got the remmys and got downstairs. When we opened it, there was it. A tall figure, red and confident for its meal, but not today. Me and the boys immediately threw bottles at its kneecaps and one of us kicked the mimic right in the chin. Then, we all toppled over it and started bustin' the hell out of that mimic. It was screaming until a shell went in it's head and it died. Me and the homies talked about how fun was it, so we camped another day. Then, we heard a window break. But this time we suspected it was an Elder Mimic so instead we were goin' to bust that charman using the plastic explosives we ordered. Then we searched for it and there... a brown face was in the dark, in the kitchen. We all threw the bombs at it and even though our kitchen was ruined, that charman blew up into pieces. That ain't all, another time i was with my M240, not gonna lie that thing was expensive. But it all was worth it when a disguised mimic came to my door. Before i opened the door, i told that piece of meat " Let's see how you shapeshift after i shoot 150 rounds into your flesh. " and busted the door open and started firing my M240. I targeted it's kneecaps and chin, heck... the thing ran away before i wasted em. After that tho, we camped so much the mimic sightings in our neighborhood disappeared. Wish those meat skeletons were still here, so me and the homies could bust more.
@@AngryGamer1224I'm Australian and I can see a bunch of college guys doing something like this. Of course, to have guns they'd have to be farmers, which I can see happening, but I also don't think homemade weapons would be off the table
“The most common times a mimic will attack is when you are asleep” Me: WELL ITS A GOOD THING I HAVE SENSORS ON MY BED THAT WHEN ACTIVATED FIRE A CANNON
Here’s a tip that I learned in film class, a common strategy used in low budget horror films filmed from a first person perspective , is to make the monster only visible on screen for a second or less, so the costume or whatever the monster is actually made out of doesn’t have time to reveal itself as such, and will leave the mind speculating on what it actually saw, making the funky looking costume much more geniune in the mind of a viewer, I think you did that fine during the scene where the mimic breaks down the door, but all other uses of the costume on screen draw attention to the flaws in the costume, I would also like to say that I feel the build up to the eventual chase is way too long, and sure creates suspense early, but after 2 minutes of casual conversation while walking leaves me personally very bored, but overall I think this is pretty good, and don’t take my critique too hard, I still think this is pretty good stuff 👍
@@Chromaspell well then the camera man didn’t do a good job of documenting the creatures, this ain’t gonna be on nat geo any time soon with these shots
pro tip: when going on the offensive against such a creature, be sure to prepare by learning how to run in short but quick bursts while holding sharp object induce raspiness in your voice and produce inhuman screeches as you do this strategy guarantees that, if you encounter a mimic, their first thoughts will not be that they are dealing with a human *Use their strategies against them. Make them fear us.*
Reminds me of my first mimic encounter not that long ago. My Uncle Barry and I were home watching the England vs France game, and in between Uncle Barry screaming at the tv and punching holes in the wall I swear I could hear knocking at our door. After Uncle Barry finished his 27th pint of the night, he heard it too. "I'm in a proper steaming mood yeah if its them fackin jerhovis witnessers I'll go fackin mental" he said to me as he got up to answer the door. Then I saw it. A skinless crooked man stood in the open doorway. Before it could attack, Uncle Barry burped in its face; his breath so alcoholic that the mimic reeled back in shock. Uncle barry then asked "you a mimic guv?' before headbutting the creature in the chin, knocking it to the floor. The full weight of an obese English uncle came crashing down on the mimics' legs as Uncle Barry toppled over on top of it. Pinned down, the mimic could do nothing but scream as I called 966 and 11 minutes later the creature was dispatched by local services. Uncle Barry can personally attest to the fact that the best 2 places to hit a mimic are its legs and head. Very informative video.
I am usually not scared by analog horror, or any horror for that matter. I find things like this super weird and intriguing, but rarely terrifying. But there is one thing that scares me to my core. Things like Woodcrawlers in Gemini Home Entertainment, or the demons watching from the corner in Mandela Catalogue.. and the Mimics in this. This type of horror gets to me on such a level that I have a hard time even continuing with the video. I think it is pretty revealing about my psyche that I am so terrified of creatures in human skin, things that sneak in the woods at night and watch carefully until attacking in the most fear-inducing way possible. My head is on a swivel watching this, help lol
Came here from Minaxa’s interview with you, can’t believe you ate your actual, living sister to make this video; this is why you’re probably one of the best analog horror artists out there, you have such a defined vision and such a clear process, this world you made is a work of art man, really 👍👍👍. Absolutely cannot wait for Season 2!
I remember being 19 and coming home drunk after a frat party and my 12yo little brother (who was sleeping at home on the couch) thought I was a mimic cause I was injured at one leg and moved around weirdly in the dark. He called for help and I got beaten up by 70yo Edward (may he rest in piece, he was the best neighbour) Ah, good times...
I just love how the mimics are basically just a slightly more intense cougar or black bear that you can scare off by waving your arms around and talk sternly to them. Imagine a tall, red guy crawling out from under your bed with the goal of eating you, and the proper response to that is to T-pose on that bastard. Thats bloody amazing!!xD
I like how the comments in the trimming video where all grounded and felt like people actually had them as pets, while the comments here are just ridiculous and nonsensical ways people have taken down mimics
Imma be real. After reading a lot of these comments i think we need a vita carnis spinoff where it's like greentext stories of ppls experiences with mimics and other creatures
>Be me, 24 YO, male >got me a fat azz trimming >whole town gets some >local pet shop starts selling trimmings >one of them starts acting weird >most people think it’s a juvenile mimic >neighbor, old fella, buys it >”he ain’t a Micmic, anyone who says otherwise is” >his wife’s actually a mimic >divorce.jpeg >mimic wife gone >soon he has a new wife, who for some reason is mysterious as hell, no Id, no driver’s license, nothing. >coincidentally the pet “trimming” is gone >entire town mass hysteria
If you are looking for mimics and find their hiding spot, use a flashbang and once they give chase, insult them and blow them into smitherines using the 120mm anti-tank gun you keep on hand for absolute emergencies. Tip#1: HESH and Anti-Infantry rounds work best and a tunnel boar will get the job done if said mimic survives. Tip#2: A Hydrogen bomb or laying a field of mines will take out multiple mimics. Tip#3: In order to not encounter this mimic problem again, drive them to extinction, we're already doing it to other species.
The mimic breaking into my house only to realize it’s mistake to late after seeing me loss my 20th ranked match in a row ( they will not find it’s body )
See now I’m really curious, mimics can grow to look like humans so is there a way mimics can recognize other mimics even if they look really human? Has there ever been an instance of a mimic stalking a mimic or at the very least, mistaking one for a human for a short period of time?
What if I wear a costume of raw meat designed to look like the mimics? The animal meat will cancel out my human smell and I'll look just like them. Using their own tricks against them
One of my suggestions for making a more gorey or realistic costume to replicate a flesh look is taking felt sheets, gluing them on in the shapes of muscles, then painting over the felt fabric with red, pinkish, and off white acrylic paint mixed with tacky glue to get that glossy meat-like texture. I loved this video and I’d love to see more in the future!
I think out of all the Carnis, the mimic poses the most threat to humanity, the hosts aren't a problem due to their rarity, the monoliths do nothing, and everything else is harmless or easily avoidable, but the mimics actively hunt people, and are good at it. But their weakness seems to be urban environments, in a place where there could be teams of people who's job is to check who is and isn't a mimic, they won't be able to hide in plain sight and could be terminated easily.
honestly yeah, mimics are probably one of the biggest threats to humanity in this universe, since they have extremely great resilience and speed and are most likely the most intelligent out of the carnis species.
@@alexmadness19 They are very intelligent, they hunt humans, they are fast, strong, and resilient to physical trauma, they can hide in plain sight, if there are too many mimics in the world of Vita Carnis, they could very well drive humanity to extinction.
i do wonder, if citizens will need to get their houses renovated to be able to survive mimic attacks. (example: certain windows in the house will need to be removed and/or a stronger door.)
That's discounting the Singularity, though. We really don't know if they're regular animals or the eldritch consequences of something far more advanced than us getting stuck on our planet.
I like that as the pair walks, you can see the foliage on the ground get thicker and thicker, pushing up through the sidewalk. Not sure if that is intentional, but since Creep encourages rapid plant growth(fertile soil + the existence of harvesters), it’s safe to say that there’s probably an abundance of Creep in the area the pair is heading towards.
Cool worldbuilding that these monsters help each other out in some ways, maybe even a symbiotic relationship, or the mimic using the creep to intentionally make itself harder to capture since they are so smart
19:28 ngl it's a brilliant strategy of the mimic to lure its victims into a false sense of security by making itself look like elmo from sesame street.
I like how it shows that the world is unprepared for this, because the instructions to survive a mimic are basically instructions to survive a bear encounter (if the bear isn’t mauling you already)
This is why their relationship to the crawl is brilliantl. The mimic threat is gone if you burn every crawl growth, but those meat trees are both great for the economy and the environment, so no government would actually go teough with it no matter the governing party
@@adrianshephard2215 all the variations of the meat creatures originate from the crawl, it’s a passive species of meat tress basically that give birth to all these variants. The crawl is also good for the environment because it helps surrounding trees and is a food source for carnivores. Thus the government wouldn’t go through to burning it and would rather sacrifice millions of lives each year to these mimics. I don’t know any other variants than the mimics, crawl, meat snake and trimmings so idk what other threats the crawl can give birth to so my condolences if I was wrong
If a mimic is thin and tall, I can just picture it disguising itself as a coat rack and wearing a piece of your clothes waiting to attack, this is pure nightmare fuel and I love the creativity behind this all. Please I encourage you to keep making more of these amazing videos.
This actually happened to me about a month ago luckily I keep a ks 23 6 guage shotgun by my bed I took out the poor fuckers legs I pinned one of its hands down with a knife shot off the other hand and ate it right in front of him After that I shot him a final time in the face another one walked in but it saw me with a shotgun and the dead mimics hand in my mouth and it decided to flee smart choice
They easily blend into the trees. If you’re already afraid of hiking with Harvesters about just be careful. They can hide so easily behind rocks and trees
I have a couple robes I wear around the house (because they comfy as hell) but with this new context… I might be folding them in a drawer instead of hanging them from now on
Would be neat if there was photos of Mimics being predated by big cats, bears, and other wildlife. I imagine leopards and feral dogs in India would make it a habit to harass/eat mimics. Also, I feel owning dogs is a near 100 percent way to prevent any Mimic from sneaking or surprising you in your own home.
What i like most about this series is that not all of the vita carnis are bloodthirsty monsters. Some of them are just normal animals that only look creepy, but aren’t any more aggressive than a raccoon or a chayote
The part where it says "do not leave the area" if you find a mimic that hasn't discovered you yet to help authorities find its location seems rather counterintuitive. I am very sure that anyone who sees a mimic would run immediately.
@@dudeman757 yep, which as cold as it may seem, might actually be the better choice, if the person ran away completely, the mimic would give up and run away as well, while the person survives 100%, so too does the mimic and it will learn to be better at cornering prey, making it a more dangerous mimic, especially if it lives to become an elder mimic So in exchange for reducing a person’s survival chance by a lot, they also increase the chance of cornering the mimic itself, killing it before it could ever become an elder and kill more people
It took until 16:00 before I finally realized this is taking place on a version of Earth which isn't familiar with _Vita Carnis_ - I'd written off the lack of creep as a budgetary matter, but the total lack of awareness that grisly cannibalized corpses = mimic activity seals it. Presumably, the SINGULARITY is capable of breaching into other realities, in ways that other exemplars of the Carnis genum can make use of.
@@peachtree2579 I thought they were talking about the Flood from Halo, basically a galaxy spanning monstrous alien race all controlled by one sapient hive mind. They attack and kill all living organisms and then take over and control their bodies or use their organic matter to make more Flood.
I feel like it would all depend on how well mimics can understand human speech patterns and use learned words in context. If they can only make sounds and repeat sentences they have already heard, but can't construct new ideas when asked a question then it would be fairly easy to spot a real mimic, so calling a person or even a group of people a mimic as a political tool would at least be ineffective in heavily populated areas that get a lot of mimic activity. In more rural areas I can see it potentially emerging out of ignorance or lack of knowledge of real mimic behavior. Or if mimics are just as good (or even better) as humans at recognizing patterns and using language, then I can definitely see a mimic scare sweeping through western nations.
@@j8kethewizz It would definitely be easy to lie about how easy it is to spot a mimic, and claim that it's better to kill or lock away all your opponents than have mimics running around.
@@glatykoffi6672 Given how carelessly and poorly we treat the disabled and disfigured, sadly I feel like it wouldn't be that hard to convince a group of people that, for instance, an autistic person with burn scars is a Mimic that needs to be "taken care of". I know it's a bit of a cliche, but we'd likely kill more vulnerable people in our society out of fear than the Mimics would, and we'd be much faster at it.
haha, the mimic suit a bit cheap, but you gotta work with what you have, right The prince's tale at the end is really intriguing. I had previously thought that the critters were humans, but now I believe that they're literally critters, as in animals and nature at large. I think the 'disaster' they're facing is humanity and that's why the vita carnis is so good at coexisting with nature and even leaves behind fertile soil whereever it is.
yeah i when i saw the costume i couldnt really take it seriously, one thing i would suggest for them to do is make the overall costume bigger, like way bigger, since mimics are sort of seen as being taller, and doing that would allow for them to make the mimic look skinny and bony, since proportionally the shoulders, head, ribcage, and pelvis would be way bigger than the human body, the fleshy details can be pressed up against the actors body to sell the whole monster look
Funny thing is, mimics probably wouldn't be that much of an issue in the modern day. The fact they wear multiple layers of clothing is already a sign. Gun control laws would likely be less strict, so more people could at least own a handgun Automatic home security (cameras, alarms) would likely get better, and could even be a basic feature of houses. High density housing would likely become more popular. You'd be far more likely to hear your neighbor almost getting chomped in an apartment or duplex than a single house. (Not like single people can even afford houses anymore lol). We already have technology to send public alerts to phones, televisions, etc. of mimic sightings or possible hunts. The only people elder mimics could threaten are those in the country. Sure, meeting one would absolutely be scary, but the scarier thing is how well/fast we as humans could adapt before it got out of hand.
They wouldn't be, you're right. Mimics would scare the hell out of people trying to further expand into undeveloped areas though which is what I think the point of these meat creatures are. The real danger would be harvesters and hosts with mimics as more of a scare tactic and because they all spawn from the crawl there would be no feasible way to get rid of them due to it spreading to every corner of the globe. These aren't creatures you can just wipe out with the knowledge we have. We would need to eliminate the crawl itself and the most feasible way I can think of would be bioengineering a micro-organism to not just prey upon the crawl but completely destroy it wherever you deploy it sort of like how scientists now are trying to engineer microbes to eat plastic. (But good luck doing that with people farming the crawl.) The solution for monoliths and the singularity though? No clue since they are essentially magic and I think they are the solution for us.
@@APPLE-kg2nl The monoliths have been hit with missiles which damaged them but they regenerated. I wonder what would happen if someone were to shoot enough missiles to obliterate its legs before the monolith can regenerate.
@@grootsyt Me too. I think they get energy from their roots and crawl in the area so if you could sever the legs I’m not sure if they’d reattach or not but it would not surprise me. A bomb strong enough to destroy the entire area though I can see it killing them immediately or weakening them past the point of regeneration. These monoliths could also be getting their energy from power because I suspect they are the result of the one newspaper that shows us crawl climbing radio towers which explains their emp ability.
@@APPLE-kg2nl if we ever got driven to extinction the earth would still be destroyed because what if a bunch of world leaders decided to nuke the world because they're like "if we can't have earth none can" plus imagine all the nukes that would explode without maintenance or all the industrial stuff if there's none to maintain industrial things like imagine all the boats in the sea and the oil drilling rigs in the sea the oil rigs would probably flood the sea with leaked oil causing massive amounts of dead marine life and all the dangerous stuff in transit such as chemical wastes or smth, it's safe to say if humans are extinct a bunch of stuff may explode of leak small or large without human intervention.
I remember watching 7 dudes tackle one mimic while it was attacking my mom. I literally watched my uncle take his shoe off and beat thing with his brand new jordans. Granted eventually they managed to kill it and had to spend a day or two in questioning after they drunkenly brutalized this thing.
So, tips on the mimic costume, seeing as its flaws have been highlighted elsewhere in the comments: if you're not already following Will McDaniel I'd definitely suggest checking out some of his videos, especially the behind the scenes stuff. A few basic materials and a little work and you'll have that suit looking like the stuff of nightmares in no time.
COVID would be hell for people in this timeline. like-- if their faces are weird, they have excuses to wear masks now. and to have their hands in pockets due to not wanting to touch anything that can get them to catch covid or something.
And half the population would claim that mimics aren't a problem because anti-mimic measures inhibit freedoms and mimics don't kill THAT many people overall.
@@cloud1973 In a funny sort of way it would almost feed into the natural order, haha. Mimics seem like they'd be nature's method to put humans lower on the food chain, and survivors being the ones able to cooperate and use/trust empirical information would make for some very effective natural selection!
Make a comedy story where a guy working at McDonald's keeps feeding them the raw meat discs. He keeps stealing boxes of product from the downstairs freezer and taking it out back behind the trash corral to leave for a mimic that follows him around his town hoping it won't kill his family while he's away at work. Double scary cause capitalism plus meat monsters.
In the video on the entire Vita Carnis species that predates this one, they talk about how the mimic has 2 final metamorphosis transitions, those being, the one where it adapts to be more like a human (in the case that it has a steady stream of food) and the Elder Mimic (this one resulting from an over abundance of food) they also say explicitly to hide in low places as a mimic will not linger in a place in search of food and to not use any weapons you have, but rather to use them as shields to block any incoming attacks from the mimic. I like to think a particularly smart Elder mimic made this video or a cult around them did to spread misinformation about mimics to increase the mimic population
I'm just gonna go with the idea that this is the new canon, at least until its deconfirmed, since the whole "weapons won't work" thing kinda detracts from the horror for me. It makes the mimics feel a lot more like actual animals, which hits closer to home-
@@squibbles_ agreed. It's the normalness, that such a flayed demon-looking nightmare being that densely populates the entire Northern hemisphere and EXCLUSIVELY eats *humans* is just a regular wild animal like any bear, that freaks me the fuck out.
@@squibbles_ yeah, if weapons don't work then why would they go through such trouble to try to get you in a vulnerable position? An invincible predator wouldn't need to skulk around
I think, this is simply updated information. More information on mimics have come up, due to their recent increase in population as stated in the video. This allows for more accurate information to be known
@@XacrisI would say though, that they were never really said to be invincible I don’t think. Just that they had tough flesh that made weapons not especially useful when already put in a bad spot (in the first video)
Watching this through the first couple of times scared the shit out of me. But going in now and seeing the goofy lookin mimic costume is a whole different experience. Great work man.
My heart deadass skipped a beat when the mimic appeared beside the car. I've been waiting 20 minutes knowing this dead person they're talking about probably died to a mimic and thinking it's kinda dumb in this world to go out just the two of you at night. Looking in the background and at the sides of the path to see if I can see a mimic and then it's there and she's gotta run. I agree that the buildup was a bit too long, but I also like that despite knowing what's coming I kinda became complacent like these two people we were following and how that added to the shock and fear when the mimic shows up.
The mimic reveals itself from the closet and approaches it victim. The prey is a 19 years old boy, his name is Billy and he is alone in his house. An easy target for the mimic, it reaches out it arms to Billy placing them on his shoulder, but unknowingly to the mimic. Billy is a League of Legends player, he has been in hell elo for over a month and "he" has just lost his fifth game of the night. The moment Billy feels the touch of the creature, something just snap, something inside of him, he quickly turns his back and elbow strike the creature in the jaw. The creature falls back but Billy was quicker, he grabs the keyboard and rip it off the desk, smashing it to the creature face. Making it falls onto it knees, the mimic was in shock, it doesn't understand what just happened, the prey don't fight back in its previous hunts, not as fierce as Billy. The beast stand up and lunged toward Billy, he jumped out of the way and ran to his ultimate weapon. A "90 dollars Katana" that he bought from Wish, with the skills of a mastery 7 Yasuo player he cut down the beast, with each wounds the beast grows tired, but not Billy he strikes the mimic until it cannot move anymore. In the end Billy emerged victorious, the mimic was no match for him.
Everyone needs an attack dog to detect when a mimic is nearby, like a canary in a coal mine it goes off when you’re about to die and if your attack dog ever goes missing you know to get out of dodge as fast as you can.
Tbh if they made it so that the jaw could unhinge, lather it in vasoline, do the crab walk pose, and stuff the mouth with raw steak, it would’ve looked perfect
I think something a lot of people have sort of picked up on but not said fully is that while the mimic is incredibly scary on paper, it’s kind of got this counter intuitive hunting style. It needs high density population areas to hunt, but it also needs victims alone because it’s easily overpowered. I think that helps lend a lot of weight to why humanity isn’t too scared of these things and let’s the lore thrive more, the only places it can hunt are also very bad for it to hunt in.
the high population is just because it needs a large supply so they can have a meal whenever hungry, and they need them alone for the same reason you eat one course at a time and not all three courses at one,
In the county i lived on back when i was a kid there was a BAAAAAD mimic infestation. A death almost every other day, you could sometimes see multiple of the things standing at a field doing the digesting. After this went on for honestly longer than it should have,we got done with it and everyone started carrying. If you were outside,you either had a gun or was with someone that had one,children included. Everyone except frank. Frank was a big fucker,6'7 built like a brick shithouse,worked as a lumberjack i think. Dude was convinced that he could beat a mimic on hands alone. We called him a stupid idiot,he called us pussies for being scared,all good fun. A few days after everyone got armed,mimic attacks became a non issue,so we kinda...got dumb again. I was out and about late at night to run some errands,and forgot to take my piece with me. One of the things sprung out of a trash can and it must have smelled it or something because it sprinted at me witouth any fear,and good lord,nothing can prepare you for the horror of being chased by one of those. I ran for like,15 minutes until i collapsed (yeah,my cardio sucks,fuck off) and i could swear i was gonna die,until out of nowhere frank runs out of his car and tackles the mimic. I managed to get up and ran to a nearby gas station,and the clerk came out running with a shotgun,blasted the thing to bits. Rest in peace frank. You're a goddamn hero, and you deserved better
I genuinely couldn’t sleep last night. Not only was it cold but I had a nap yesterday and this only made me fear that a mimic was on the other side of my door or in my closet and waiting to ambush me
yeah imagining watching this in a solitary base in Antarctica with a research team compiled of 1 human and 16 rare bugs. Yeah not so scary now is it buddy
i really like having an actual practical effect fella as the monster instead of some cgi thingy, adds a really scary factor having something actually physical there
I get the feeling that these guys might be the in-universe explanation for why humans are scared by the uncanny valley. P.S this series and world are awesome dude, you deserve way more popularity.

I nail the neighbors trimming.
In my retreat I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" I say as the grape shot shreds two mimics in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms.
Finally, as the last mimic is panicking from all the noise, I fix bayonet and charge it.
It bleeds out pinned to the wall as I'm waiting for the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up.

I love the idea that they don't actually transform, as if it's a misinterpretation of their abilities.
I mean the contorting allows even for the classic chest mimic, pop open a chest and uh oh, red arms and a big ole mouth
@@carljoosepraave2102 That's the point here
Maybe it’s because of the further growth stages of the mimic more closely resembling a regular human, not their passive ability to transform.
The meat snake was said to incorporate the corpses it ate into its body. The mimic may do something similar, slowly repurposing and covering its itself with the hair and skin of its victims
They don’t transform at all, they just end up honing their ability to blend in, but they never quite manage to full mimic anything
I really like how unlike most analog horrors where the advice against the monsters is “ACCEPT YOUR DEATH” or “LAY DOWN AN DIE” in a way to copy Local 58 or some shit like that, you genuinely can beat these creatures, since they’re still actually animals, even if they can easily kill you. It makes it more realistic
When I read the “lay down and die” part I laughed so hard because I could hear that one dude Alex jones screaming “this is your fate LAY DOWN AND DIEEEEah!” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Except for the harvesters
Local 58 could do that because whatever was causing all of that was otherworldly, we never actually saw it and what we did see was just some of what it could do. The analog horror series that are just ‘people but exaggerated’ always give some reason for why you can just hit them with buckshot, but series like Greylock, Local58, Gemini Home Entertainment make it clear these things are nothing like people.
they’re real 😦
bro i’m not even gonna try get sleep
To be fair local 58 was more of like a cosmic eldritch horror type thing like Gemini home entertainment, it’s something beyond our comprehension so really all we can do technically is lay down and die, but other series that aren’t based off of that concept I completely agree it makes it less realistic.
The mimic disguised as a mailman unaware of landmine beneath the the welcome carpet they're stepping on:
What I like about this is that it's not some kind of undefeatable horror.

But usually, by the time you see a bear, or it sees you, it is probably too late.
it goes both ways, though. like bears.

This opens the possibility that the documentary's statement of the Vita Carnis being from Earth is technically correct from a certain point of view. If the Crawl was created by the Prince working together with humans, then the meat creatures excluding the Prince are all "from Earth".

It’s crazy how quickly and silently the guy got taken by the mimic. This was really cool actually. I can’t wait to see the next video!
The creepiest/best part of this series is the fact that many of these videos are similar to a "What to do if you see a bear/cougar" type of video. It's not some eldrich horror that cannot be overwhelmed (well, aside from the Monoliths); it's a creature with known behavioral patterns that can be exploited to improve your odds of survival. With the exception of the Harvester (which can just be avoided), all of these threats are survivable with preparation and knowledge. Dying to a Mimic or Host is akin to being mauled by a bear or cougar- it's a rare occurrence that people think won't happen to them and therefore never prepare for.
Atleast you can shoot a bear or cougar and be the victor.

They also said not to shoot in the original video as they cannot be killed with guns and the like. Makes me wonder who each recording came from and what their motives were…

I love this update to the mimic lore. It makes them less 'unstoppable invincible monsters' and more 'scary but grounded predators'. The ability of potential prey to fight back or get them to leave with a threat display makes them feel more like real animals. But they're still super scary because of how they can stalk, hide, and catch prey off-guard.
Idk if i like "they actually can be stopped and have weaknesses they are animals" or "we are lieing you have no hope"
In the first one the advice it gives if pretty different from the ones here so I'm not sure
Real life predators like cheetahs for example also stalk, hide, and try to catch their prey off-guard
Humans are cryptids to animals. We chase them over long distances and when they lie down out of exhaustion we just show up. We stand on Two legs are almost completely bald and we can kill them from hundreds if not thousands of feet away like magic. We move in land ships as well as water ships and airships. We can drop one piece of metal and radiation from the sky and destroy thousands of feet of land around detonation site.
@@goldendaygecko7435Makes you wonder if this video is purposefully lying to us
I remember seeing comments on the previous mimic vid complaining about the durability and unfightable nature of the mimics, it looks like you fixed it and made it a bit more realistic which imo, despite being able to immobilize them, the realism makes it scarier.
Seriously if best strategy to evade them was to scream like a little girl and run as fast as you can then they'd already be nearly extinct because that's our first reaction to literally everything. You wouldn't need to publish a guide on it explaining to people that they need to run away from the skinless man trying to eat them.
it is a lot better with some realism, a high powered assault rifle (which in such a scenario a lot of people would start carrying) would literally vaporize one. I think restrictions on gun ownership would quickly disappear in the face of fast human eating monsters

Makes me remember that one time when me and the boys were intentionally camping the house at night to hunt down mimics. One time something knocked on my door and me and the homies got the remmys and got downstairs. When we opened it, there was it. A tall figure, red and confident for its meal, but not today. Me and the boys immediately threw bottles at its kneecaps and one of us kicked the mimic right in the chin. Then, we all toppled over it and started bustin' the hell out of that mimic. It was screaming until a shell went in it's head and it died. Me and the homies talked about how fun was it, so we camped another day. Then, we heard a window break. But this time we suspected it was an Elder Mimic so instead we were goin' to bust that charman using the plastic explosives we ordered. Then we searched for it and there... a brown face was in the dark, in the kitchen. We all threw the bombs at it and even though our kitchen was ruined, that charman blew up into pieces. That ain't all, another time i was with my M240, not gonna lie that thing was expensive. But it all was worth it when a disguised mimic came to my door. Before i opened the door, i told that piece of meat " Let's see how you shapeshift after i shoot 150 rounds into your flesh. " and busted the door open and started firing my M240. I targeted it's kneecaps and chin, heck... the thing ran away before i wasted em. After that tho, we camped so much the mimic sightings in our neighborhood disappeared.

Here’s a tip that I learned in film class, a common strategy used in low budget horror films filmed from a first person perspective , is to make the monster only visible on screen for a second or less, so the costume or whatever the monster is actually made out of doesn’t have time to reveal itself as such, and will leave the mind speculating on what it actually saw, making the funky looking costume much more geniune in the mind of a viewer, I think you did that fine during the scene where the mimic breaks down the door, but all other uses of the costume on screen draw attention to the flaws in the costume, I would also like to say that I feel the build up to the eventual chase is way too long, and sure creates suspense early, but after 2 minutes of casual conversation while walking leaves me personally very bored, but overall I think this is pretty good, and don’t take my critique too hard, I still think this is pretty good stuff 👍
also pretty sure they could have used a prop instead of a costume unless the chase scene had the mimic on camera

pro tip:
when going on the offensive against such a creature, be sure to prepare by learning how to run in short but quick bursts while holding sharp object
induce raspiness in your voice and produce inhuman screeches as you do
this strategy guarantees that, if you encounter a mimic, their first thoughts will not be that they are dealing with a human

Reminds me of my first mimic encounter not that long ago. My Uncle Barry and I were home watching the England vs France game, and in between Uncle Barry screaming at the tv and punching holes in the wall I swear I could hear knocking at our door. After Uncle Barry finished his 27th pint of the night, he heard it too. "I'm in a proper steaming mood yeah if its them fackin jerhovis witnessers I'll go fackin mental" he said to me as he got up to answer the door. Then I saw it. A skinless crooked man stood in the open doorway. Before it could attack, Uncle Barry burped in its face; his breath so alcoholic that the mimic reeled back in shock. Uncle barry then asked "you a mimic guv?' before headbutting the creature in the chin, knocking it to the floor. The full weight of an obese English uncle came crashing down on the mimics' legs as Uncle Barry toppled over on top of it. Pinned down, the mimic could do nothing but scream as I called 966 and 11 minutes later the creature was dispatched by local services. Uncle Barry can personally attest to the fact that the best 2 places to hit a mimic are its legs and head. Very informative video.

Imagine a tall, red guy crawling out from under your bed with the goal of eating you, and the proper response to that is to T-pose on that bastard. Thats bloody amazing!!xD
It’s hesitant, it’s supposed to give time, not ward away
they are only hesitant to attack if you assert your dominance
@@devonterminator2697 only way to do that is aggressively shit your pants and throw it at them
I love the idea of somebody’s grandma scaring off a mimic by giving it a taking off for startling her and that it’s very rude and he should be ashamed
Ngl i wouldn't hesitate to tackle and beat the shit out of a mimic until it just had enough and runs out of my house
When youtube slaps the "I understand and wish to proceed" you know its gonna be good
I like how the comments in the trimming video where all grounded and felt like people actually had them as pets, while the comments here are just ridiculous and nonsensical ways people have taken down mimics
Imma be real. After reading a lot of these comments i think we need a vita carnis spinoff where it's like greentext stories of ppls experiences with mimics and other creatures

If you are looking for mimics and find their hiding spot, use a flashbang and once they give chase, insult them and blow them into smitherines using the 120mm anti-tank gun you keep on hand for absolute emergencies.
Tip#1: HESH and Anti-Infantry rounds work best and a tunnel boar will get the job done if said mimic survives.
Tip#2: A Hydrogen bomb or laying a field of mines will take out multiple mimics.
Tip#3: In order to not encounter this mimic problem again, drive them to extinction, we're already doing it to other species.
White phosphorus and napalm should do the trick
I love how in your vision hydrogen bombs and land mines are in the same category

See now I’m really curious, mimics can grow to look like humans so is there a way mimics can recognize other mimics even if they look really human? Has there ever been an instance of a mimic stalking a mimic or at the very least, mistaking one for a human for a short period of time?
Maybe they just fight to the death to see who is the dominant mimic sense there still kinda like animals
I think that all of the organisms are part of a hivemind with the singularity so they’d be able to tell which mimics are undercover
Both of these replies are equally fascinating and makes me even more curious
What if I wear a costume of raw meat designed to look like the mimics? The animal meat will cancel out my human smell and I'll look just like them. Using their own tricks against them
How to avoid mimics :
1. Wear crocs
2. When you get chased turn them sport mode
This will help you to chase them.

One of my suggestions for making a more gorey or realistic costume to replicate a flesh look is taking felt sheets, gluing them on in the shapes of muscles, then painting over the felt fabric with red, pinkish, and off white acrylic paint mixed with tacky glue to get that glossy meat-like texture. I loved this video and I’d love to see more in the future!
My advice: MAKE IT WET.
@@clyne8835 😂 Yea pretty much! Meat is naturally very glossy. He’s going for a bloody affect with the colors/costume which would make it even wetter.

I think out of all the Carnis, the mimic poses the most threat to humanity, the hosts aren't a problem due to their rarity, the monoliths do nothing, and everything else is harmless or easily avoidable, but the mimics actively hunt people, and are good at it. But their weakness seems to be urban environments, in a place where there could be teams of people who's job is to check who is and isn't a mimic, they won't be able to hide in plain sight and could be terminated easily.
honestly yeah, mimics are probably one of the biggest threats to humanity in this universe, since they have extremely great resilience and speed and are most likely the most intelligent out of the carnis species.
@@alexmadness19 They are very intelligent, they hunt humans, they are fast, strong, and resilient to physical trauma, they can hide in plain sight, if there are too many mimics in the world of Vita Carnis, they could very well drive humanity to extinction.
i do wonder, if citizens will need to get their houses renovated to be able to survive mimic attacks. (example: certain windows in the house will need to be removed and/or a stronger door.)
That's discounting the Singularity, though. We really don't know if they're regular animals or the eldritch consequences of something far more advanced than us getting stuck on our planet.
@@no-lifenoah7861I honestly like the thought of these just being normal fucking animals, because you never see that with this kind of horror.
I like that as the pair walks, you can see the foliage on the ground get thicker and thicker, pushing up through the sidewalk. Not sure if that is intentional, but since Creep encourages rapid plant growth(fertile soil + the existence of harvesters), it’s safe to say that there’s probably an abundance of Creep in the area the pair is heading towards.
Cool worldbuilding that these monsters help each other out in some ways, maybe even a symbiotic relationship, or the mimic using the creep to intentionally make itself harder to capture since they are so smart
@@ezrabraman6437 I mean - everything comes from the Crawl

His ass is not gonna get the wifi password 😂
19:28 ngl it's a brilliant strategy of the mimic to lure its victims into a false sense of security by making itself look like elmo from sesame street.
I like how it shows that the world is unprepared for this, because the instructions to survive a mimic are basically instructions to survive a bear encounter (if the bear isn’t mauling you already)
This is why their relationship to the crawl is brilliantl. The mimic threat is gone if you burn every crawl growth, but those meat trees
are both great for the economy and the environment, so no government would actually go teough with it no matter the governing party

@@adrianshephard2215 all the variations of the meat creatures originate from the crawl, it’s a passive species of meat tress basically that give birth to all these variants. The crawl is also good for the environment because it helps surrounding trees and is a food source for carnivores. Thus the government wouldn’t go through to burning it and would rather sacrifice millions of lives each year to these mimics. I don’t know any other variants than the mimics, crawl, meat snake and trimmings so idk what other threats the crawl can give birth to so my condolences if I was wrong

If a mimic is thin and tall, I can just picture it disguising itself as a coat rack and wearing a piece of your clothes waiting to attack, this is pure nightmare fuel and I love the creativity behind this all. Please I encourage you to keep making more of these amazing videos.
This actually happened to me about a month ago luckily I keep a ks 23
6 guage shotgun by my bed
I took out the poor fuckers legs I pinned one of its hands down with a knife shot off the other hand and ate it right in front of him
After that I shot him a final time in the face
another one walked in but it saw me with a shotgun and the dead mimics hand in my mouth and it decided to flee smart choice
They easily blend into the trees. If you’re already afraid of hiking with Harvesters about just be careful. They can hide so easily behind rocks and trees
This is why I don’t own coat racks.
I have a couple robes I wear around the house (because they comfy as hell) but with this new context… I might be folding them in a drawer instead of hanging them from now on
Imagine mimic gets the drip
Would be neat if there was photos of Mimics being predated by big cats, bears, and other wildlife. I imagine leopards and feral dogs in India would make it a habit to harass/eat mimics. Also, I feel owning dogs is a near 100 percent way to prevent any Mimic from sneaking or surprising you in your own home.
HAPPY 200K DARIAN! This series scared the f##k out of me. I love it! The mimic jumpscare in the introduction. IS AMAZING! Good job on all of this.
What i like most about this series is that not all of the vita carnis are bloodthirsty monsters. Some of them are just normal animals that only look creepy, but aren’t any more aggressive than a raccoon or a chayote
A chayote is an edible plant belonging to the gourd family, so I’m assuming you meant coyote
@@quitequeerquesadilla I think chayotes are very scary and aggressive
@@Raptorknight17 Chayotes are scary
@@quitequeerquesadilla chayotes have lots of sharp spines on them when they mature and they can easily poke through your skin

The part where it says "do not leave the area" if you find a mimic that hasn't discovered you yet to help authorities find its location seems rather counterintuitive. I am very sure that anyone who sees a mimic would run immediately.
The way I saw it was government officials caring more about taking out the mimic as opposed to saving the person
@@dudeman757 I definitely think so. But if mimics were real and I saw one, I would definitely leave the area ASAP.
@@dudeman757 yep, which as cold as it may seem, might actually be the better choice, if the person ran away completely, the mimic would give up and run away as well, while the person survives 100%, so too does the mimic and it will learn to be better at cornering prey, making it a more dangerous mimic, especially if it lives to become an elder mimic
So in exchange for reducing a person’s survival chance by a lot, they also increase the chance of cornering the mimic itself, killing it before it could ever become an elder and kill more people
@@johnmoreno6903 having 1 less mimic is worth 1 person,
How many people can a mimic kill?
Maybe the mimics themselves are creating these videos to spread bad advice.
You know it gon be good when there's a warning beforehand.
Basically you can just chop his head with a shovel, shovel is a item that can be easily found, and this information are enough to protect from mimics
It took until 16:00 before I finally realized this is taking place on a version of Earth which isn't familiar with _Vita Carnis_ - I'd written off the lack of creep as a budgetary matter, but the total lack of awareness that grisly cannibalized corpses = mimic activity seals it.
Presumably, the SINGULARITY is capable of breaching into other realities, in ways that other exemplars of the Carnis genum can make use of.

@danse en rouge eh? what, do you mean because they used singular "they"? it's been in use for persons of indeterminate gender since the 1200s...
I wonder if the mimic cause a red scare-esque fiasco where undesired people's are commonly accused of being mimics
I feel like it would all depend on how well mimics can understand human speech patterns and use learned words in context. If they can only make sounds and repeat sentences they have already heard, but can't construct new ideas when asked a question then it would be fairly easy to spot a real mimic, so calling a person or even a group of people a mimic as a political tool would at least be ineffective in heavily populated areas that get a lot of mimic activity. In more rural areas I can see it potentially emerging out of ignorance or lack of knowledge of real mimic behavior. Or if mimics are just as good (or even better) as humans at recognizing patterns and using language, then I can definitely see a mimic scare sweeping through western nations.
Seeing how distorted their facial features are even with skin, I doubt it happens often.
@@j8kethewizz It would definitely be easy to lie about how easy it is to spot a mimic, and claim that it's better to kill or lock away all your opponents than have mimics running around.
@@glatykoffi6672 Given how carelessly and poorly we treat the disabled and disfigured, sadly I feel like it wouldn't be that hard to convince a group of people that, for instance, an autistic person with burn scars is a Mimic that needs to be "taken care of". I know it's a bit of a cliche, but we'd likely kill more vulnerable people in our society out of fear than the Mimics would, and we'd be much faster at it.

In the videos it made it seem like they were si terrifyingly disgusting but that mimic looks goofy af
haha, the mimic suit a bit cheap, but you gotta work with what you have, right
The prince's tale at the end is really intriguing. I had previously thought that the critters were humans, but now I believe that they're literally critters, as in animals and nature at large. I think the 'disaster' they're facing is humanity and that's why the vita carnis is so good at coexisting with nature and even leaves behind fertile soil whereever it is.
yeah i when i saw the costume i couldnt really take it seriously, one thing i would suggest for them to do is make the overall costume bigger, like way bigger, since mimics are sort of seen as being taller, and doing that would allow for them to make the mimic look skinny and bony, since proportionally the shoulders, head, ribcage, and pelvis would be way bigger than the human body, the fleshy details can be pressed up against the actors body to sell the whole monster look

Funny thing is, mimics probably wouldn't be that much of an issue in the modern day.
The fact they wear multiple layers of clothing is already a sign.
Gun control laws would likely be less strict, so more people could at least own a handgun
Automatic home security (cameras, alarms) would likely get better, and could even be a basic feature of houses.
High density housing would likely become more popular. You'd be far more likely to hear your neighbor almost getting chomped in an apartment or duplex than a single house. (Not like single people can even afford houses anymore lol).
We already have technology to send public alerts to phones, televisions, etc. of mimic sightings or possible hunts.
The only people elder mimics could threaten are those in the country.
Sure, meeting one would absolutely be scary, but the scarier thing is how well/fast we as humans could adapt before it got out of hand.
They wouldn't be, you're right. Mimics would scare the hell out of people trying to further expand into undeveloped areas though which is what I think the point of these meat creatures are. The real danger would be harvesters and hosts with mimics as more of a scare tactic and because they all spawn from the crawl there would be no feasible way to get rid of them due to it spreading to every corner of the globe. These aren't creatures you can just wipe out with the knowledge we have. We would need to eliminate the crawl itself and the most feasible way I can think of would be bioengineering a micro-organism to not just prey upon the crawl but completely destroy it wherever you deploy it sort of like how scientists now are trying to engineer microbes to eat plastic. (But good luck doing that with people farming the crawl.) The solution for monoliths and the singularity though? No clue since they are essentially magic and I think they are the solution for us.
@@APPLE-kg2nl The monoliths have been hit with missiles which damaged them but they regenerated. I wonder what would happen if someone were to shoot enough missiles to obliterate its legs before the monolith can regenerate.
@@grootsyt Me too. I think they get energy from their roots and crawl in the area so if you could sever the legs I’m not sure if they’d reattach or not but it would not surprise me. A bomb strong enough to destroy the entire area though I can see it killing them immediately or weakening them past the point of regeneration. These monoliths could also be getting their energy from power because I suspect they are the result of the one newspaper that shows us crawl climbing radio towers which explains their emp ability.
@@APPLE-kg2nl if we ever got driven to extinction the earth would still be destroyed because what if a bunch of world leaders decided to nuke the world because they're like "if we can't have earth none can" plus imagine all the nukes that would explode without maintenance or all the industrial stuff if there's none to maintain industrial things like imagine all the boats in the sea and the oil drilling rigs in the sea the oil rigs would probably flood the sea with leaked oil causing massive amounts of dead marine life and all the dangerous stuff in transit such as chemical wastes or smth, it's safe to say if humans are extinct a bunch of stuff may explode of leak small or large without human intervention.
@@grootsyt those missiles also were not nuclear. Hit em with a nuke or two and i bet they won't regen shit.

@@zacharychristy8928 Free meals for the Mimics, Lol. Also true, i could see people doing and saying that in the Vita Carnis world.
@@cloud1973 In a funny sort of way it would almost feed into the natural order, haha. Mimics seem like they'd be nature's method to put humans lower on the food chain, and survivors being the ones able to cooperate and use/trust empirical information would make for some very effective natural selection!
@@zacharychristy8928 Huh, yeah you're right. I Hadn't thought about that!
Make a comedy story where a guy working at McDonald's keeps feeding them the raw meat discs. He keeps stealing boxes of product from the downstairs freezer and taking it out back behind the trash corral to leave for a mimic that follows him around his town hoping it won't kill his family while he's away at work. Double scary cause capitalism plus meat monsters.
In the video on the entire Vita Carnis species that predates this one, they talk about how the mimic has 2 final metamorphosis transitions, those being, the one where it adapts to be more like a human (in the case that it has a steady stream of food) and the Elder Mimic (this one resulting from an over abundance of food) they also say explicitly to hide in low places as a mimic will not linger in a place in search of food and to not use any weapons you have, but rather to use them as shields to block any incoming attacks from the mimic. I like to think a particularly smart Elder mimic made this video or a cult around them did to spread misinformation about mimics to increase the mimic population
I'm just gonna go with the idea that this is the new canon, at least until its deconfirmed, since the whole "weapons won't work" thing kinda detracts from the horror for me. It makes the mimics feel a lot more like actual animals, which hits closer to home-
@@squibbles_ agreed. It's the normalness, that such a flayed demon-looking nightmare being that densely populates the entire Northern hemisphere and EXCLUSIVELY eats *humans* is just a regular wild animal like any bear, that freaks me the fuck out.
@@squibbles_ yeah, if weapons don't work then why would they go through such trouble to try to get you in a vulnerable position? An invincible predator wouldn't need to skulk around
I think, this is simply updated information. More information on mimics have come up, due to their recent increase in population as stated in the video.
This allows for more accurate information to be known
@@XacrisI would say though, that they were never really said to be invincible I don’t think.
Just that they had tough flesh that made weapons not especially useful when already put in a bad spot (in the first video)
Watching this through the first couple of times scared the shit out of me. But going in now and seeing the goofy lookin mimic costume is a whole different experience. Great work man.
Bro I just love the originality of this concept. Never have I ever seen something as interesting as this.
My heart deadass skipped a beat when the mimic appeared beside the car. I've been waiting 20 minutes knowing this dead person they're talking about probably died to a mimic and thinking it's kinda dumb in this world to go out just the two of you at night. Looking in the background and at the sides of the path to see if I can see a mimic and then it's there and she's gotta run. I agree that the buildup was a bit too long, but I also like that despite knowing what's coming I kinda became complacent like these two people we were following and how that added to the shock and fear when the mimic shows up.
@ShutpostLord 19:32 or so
I thought the person the camera man was walking with was a mimic
The mimic reveals itself from the closet and approaches it victim. The prey is a 19 years old boy, his name is Billy and he is alone in his house. An easy target for the mimic, it reaches out it arms to Billy placing them on his shoulder, but unknowingly to the mimic. Billy is a League of Legends player, he has been in hell elo for over a month and "he" has just lost his fifth game of the night. The moment Billy feels the touch of the creature, something just snap, something inside of him, he quickly turns his back and elbow strike the creature in the jaw. The creature falls back but Billy was quicker, he grabs the keyboard and rip it off the desk, smashing it to the creature face. Making it falls onto it knees, the mimic was in shock, it doesn't understand what just happened, the prey don't fight back in its previous hunts, not as fierce as Billy. The beast stand up and lunged toward Billy, he jumped out of the way and ran to his ultimate weapon. A "90 dollars Katana" that he bought from Wish, with the skills of a mastery 7 Yasuo player he cut down the beast, with each wounds the beast grows tired, but not Billy he strikes the mimic until it cannot move anymore. In the end Billy emerged victorious, the mimic was no match for him.
Then he would put its head on the wall, like ppl do to deer/moose heads
👏👏👏
Unrealistic, Billy didnt flash his mastery after the kill
Inaccurate, the Mimic would pass away from Billy’s smell alone
This work is fantastic.
Everyone needs an attack dog to detect when a mimic is nearby, like a canary in a coal mine it goes off when you’re about to die and if your attack dog ever goes missing you know to get out of dodge as fast as you can.

I think something a lot of people have sort of picked up on but not said fully is that while the mimic is incredibly scary on paper, it’s kind of got this counter intuitive hunting style. It needs high density population areas to hunt, but it also needs victims alone because it’s easily overpowered. I think that helps lend a lot of weight to why humanity isn’t too scared of these things and let’s the lore thrive more, the only places it can hunt are also very bad for it to hunt in.
Are you female or male?
the high population is just because it needs a large supply so they can have a meal whenever hungry, and they need them alone for the same reason you eat one course at a time and not all three courses at one,

In the county i lived on back when i was a kid there was a BAAAAAD mimic infestation. A death almost every other day, you could sometimes see multiple of the things standing at a field doing the digesting. After this went on for honestly longer than it should have,we got done with it and everyone started carrying. If you were outside,you either had a gun or was with someone that had one,children included. Everyone except frank. Frank was a big fucker,6'7 built like a brick shithouse,worked as a lumberjack i think. Dude was convinced that he could beat a mimic on hands alone. We called him a stupid idiot,he called us pussies for being scared,all good fun. A few days after everyone got armed,mimic attacks became a non issue,so we kinda...got dumb again. I was out and about late at night to run some errands,and forgot to take my piece with me. One of the things sprung out of a trash can and it must have smelled it or something because it sprinted at me witouth any fear,and good lord,nothing can prepare you for the horror of being chased by one of those.
I ran for like,15 minutes until i collapsed (yeah,my cardio sucks,fuck off) and i could swear i was gonna die,until out of nowhere frank runs out of his car and tackles the mimic. I managed to get up and ran to a nearby gas station,and the clerk came out running with a shotgun,blasted the thing to bits.
